Managed to watch this today after stumbling upon it on a movie site by accident. Has anyone else seen it?

I saw the movie back in January 2004, when it was showing in cinemas.

It is a very confronting film - she keeps throwing herself into the path of trouble until it destroys her. I think I and the two work colleagues I saw it with were silent when we came out of the cinema.

Yup, I saw it when it was showing in the cinemas here in the UK. It was a massive story when she was murdered in Ireland in 1996 and was broadcast all over the world, I believe. I wasn't around then, though.

I think it raises questions as to how far journalists should go though.

I saw this movie a few times. I liked it. I remember it got really mixed reviews when it cam out. I liked it though. She was hard to sympathize with becaused she was so confrontational. I really like movies about journalism.
